The Enemy Alpha Wanted His Heartless Luna Chapter 05

Trevor looks at me as if he’s misheard.

“Grace, have you lost your mind? You and him are…”

“His mother, Luna Lily, left him a territory upstream along the Moon River. The Elders’ Council is officially granting development rights to that land next month. The last time I negotiated with him, I even promised to help him secure an extra thirty percent in profits if he’d let Brandon’s pack develop it.”

I continue calmly.

“But he wasn’t happy with Brandon’s offer. He told me straight out, ‘If you’re willing to marry me and become my Luna, I’ll give you the entire territory for free.'”

Trevor’s mouth falls open. For several seconds, he can’t seem to find his voice.

“Grace, you can be mad at whoever you want, but you can’t joke around with your entire future like this…”

“I’m not throwing a tantrum.”

“Then what the hell are you trying to do?”

I ignore him, pull out my phone, find Garrett’s number, and make the call.

He answers after just two rings.

“Grace Crawford?”

“Yeah.”

There’s a brief silence before he lets out a quiet laugh.

“Well, this is a surprise. You actually called me first. What is it? Changed your mind?”

“Yes. About what you proposed at the beginning of the year. If you weren’t joking back then, I’m ready to take you up on it now.”

I pause briefly.

“I’ll marry you.”

The other end of the line falls completely silent.

A moment later, Garrett finally speaks, his voice lazy, with a hint of disbelief.

“You’re serious?”

“Yes.”

“Send me your location. I’ll be there soon.”

I hang up and send him my location.

Trevor immediately rushes over and grabs my arm.

“Grace, are you out of your mind? Your bonding ceremony with Alpha Brandon is tomorrow…”

I look up at him.

“I know.”

“Think about it. I reminded all three of them over and over again about the Luna selection tonight. And what happened? Brandon still gave his Moonstone to Leah.”

“If I’m going to bond with Brandon, I might as well get something out of it, right?”

I look straight at him, my voice as calm as ever.

“And you’re no better than the other two. All three of you promised you’d choose me, yet you betrayed me without even discussing it with each other first.”

Trevor’s mouth hangs open, but this time, he has absolutely nothing to say.

I shake off his hand and walk away.

Behind me, Trevor’s voice breaks as he calls out, “If Mom were still here…”

I don’t slow down.

If my mother were still alive, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.

But she’s gone, and there’s no going back to the way things were.

At the pack border, a tall man waits for me, leaning against a tree.

The faint glow from his phone illuminates one side of his face, while the other remains hidden in the darkness.

He lifts his chin at me.

“Long time no see, Crawford.”

His gaze lingers on my face for a moment before an amused smile curls across his lips.

“Looks like you’ve finally come to your senses.”

…

Trevor’s call comes in just after Brandon finishes his shower. A towel hangs over his shoulders as he answers.

“Alpha Brandon, something’s seriously wrong with my sister!”

“She went to see Garrett Beaumont. That bastard! She even said she’s going to marry him!”

Brandon doesn’t even pause while drying his hair.

“What new stunt is she pulling now? Garrett and she have hated each other since they were kids. She practically goes out of her way to avoid him whenever they cross paths. You really think he’s going to steal my mate away from me?”

“She’s just trying to get a reaction out of me. I know her better than you do.”

“No, she’s actually gone to see him…”

Trevor is so frantic that he can barely get his words out. He stumbles through an explanation of everything that happened that night.

“So what if she went to see him?”

Brandon scoffs when Trevor finally finishes.

“Your sister has been using threats like this to scare people since she was a kid, and you still fall for it?”

“Her bonding ceremony is tomorrow. As her brother, you should know better than to encourage her nonsense. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t do something impulsive that she’ll regret later.”

With that, he hangs up.

Leah walks out of the packhouse kitchen carrying a cup of coffee and sets it on the coffee table.

“Is Grace still upset?”

“Yeah. She’s certainly coming up with all kinds of new tricks.”

Leah lowers her head and gently stirs her coffee.

“Honestly, I think Grace can be pretty immature sometimes. We’ve already explained everything about the Luna selection, but she just refuses to let it go.”

“If someone only ever cares about their own feelings, eventually everyone around them gets tired of it. Even if you bond with someone like that, the relationship might not last. Don’t you think, Brandon?”

Brandon doesn’t answer. He gets up and heads toward the bedroom.

“I have to pick up my bride tomorrow. You should get some rest and head home.”

Leah’s fingers tighten slowly around her coffee cup.

After a long silence, she finally sets it down and turns to leave.

…

Early the next morning, Brandon steps out of the Alpha House dressed in his groom’s suit.

Leah is there, too.

She’s wearing my wedding gown.

The pack members gathered at the entrance stare in surprise.

“Well, would you look at that! Isn’t she the woman who was just chosen as Luna last night? Is she getting bonded today, too?”

Leah’s face turns bright red. She lowers her head and hides half her face behind her bouquet.

Brandon quickly speaks up to clear up the misunderstanding.

“You’ve got it wrong. My bride is Grace Crawford, my mate.”

Someone in the crowd immediately steps forward.

The person speaks unhurriedly, their voice not particularly loud, but clear enough for everyone nearby to hear.

“Wait, what? But Grace already got married last night!”

“I saw her with my own eyes. She was wearing a wedding dress and left with another Alpha.”
